Max HeyraudIt’s that time of year again: Dekmantel has unveiled the lineup for its 12th edition, set to take over Amsterdam from July 29th to August 2nd, 2026.
As expected, the festival returns with a sprawling, high-impact bill, this time placing a notable emphasis on collaborative performances across the world’s leading contemporary electronic artists.
Among the headline-grabbing pairings are James Holden & Surgeon, Ogazón & Philippa Pacho, Job Jobse & Palms Trax, and Dr. Rubinstein & Ellen Allien. Elsewhere on the lineup, genre boundaries continue to blur with appearances from RHR & Skrillex, Shy FX & Tasha, and many more across an A–Z roster that spans techno, bass, experimental electronics and beyond.
In total, over 160 global acts will perform across Dekmantel’s familiar forest setting as well as newly introduced inner-city locations, expanding the festival’s footprint while maintaining its reputation for careful curation and adventurous programming.
The announcement marks the official arrival of Dekmantel26, and with demand already running high, tickets are moving quickly. Weekend passes, which include access to Dekmantel at Dawn, are close to selling out. Single-day tickets go on sale Thursday, January 22 at 12:00 CET, available exclusively to pre-registered guests. Pre-registration remains open until 20:00 CET today.
